I'd never done yoga or Pilates before, but wanted to improve my flexibility. This strap is great, and I feel much better after having used it. The strap is very easy to hold onto and you can choose exactly how far you want to stretch. The strap comes with a photo guide that shows 14 different stretches/poses. One thing I've noticed is that the poses included in the photos on this page, and in the accompanying video, are not included in the little guide that comes with the strap. It would be
... great if Gaiam could put out a PDF with photos and quick instructions for those poses.

This strap is a brilliant design providing optimum aid in performing limitless yoga poses and stretches due to the loops at regular intervals from one end thru to the other end. These loops are 'grip/holds' that prevent hands from slipping as often happens with flat regular yoga straps. It comes with a color chart with a model demonstrating all stretches with written instructions under each picture. Great Yoga Aid! My range of motion has immediately improved using this strap.

Feel the burn!

This really kicked my butt (no pun intended). I had been looking at the Booty Belt for almost a year now, but did not want to pay the ridiculous price they charge. This is exactly the same thing with a way better price. It works and you can feel it. I ordered it to exercise in my hotel room when traveling and on days when I am too busy to go to the gym. The waist and ankle belts are adjustable and will fit quite a few sizes. If you are looking for a good butt workout this is it. When you
... flip over and do abs, it will work those by resistance also. Glad I bought this, great product. I received it in 2 days.

I'm 5'9 and it is a struggle to fold my legs all crazy to get in the bands. The waist 'harness' (that's what it feels like) clings to dear life to stay above my hips when I stretch my legs out. This is not for taller, or longer legged people. i'm sure this product is fantastic for shorter people.

Great muscles

Been using this product for the past month and it has helped me burn off excessive skin.

All of the items in this listing are in fact inside the box, however the bands are 20, 30, 40, and 50 lbs. of resistance for a total of 140 lbs. in the box. I was hoping for the power bands listed to be accurate, but still a great set.

Good set if you are looking for bands

Was looking for bands to add resistance to exercises for glutes, hip flexors and legs overall. On line description incorrectly states has 5, 10 & 15 pound bands. Box shows 20, 30 & 40 pound bands, which is correct. I actually was pleased to find heavier weight bands. Only problem is the carabiners have sharp edges that snag and fray the nylon loops on the handles and the door anchor. Using bands requires frequent removal and installation of carabiners, so be careful with this operation. I
... may find better carabiners or try to file down the sharp edges.

I've used this band for more than six months and its proven incredibly useful and versatile. I primarily use it for seated rows, which are a great alternative to pull-ups when you have no equipment. It's also effective for upright rows, curls, assisted pull-ups and increasing push-up difficulty when slung across the back.
When used for seated rows you can adjust the technique to ramp up the difficulty.
1) You can begin with one end of the loop around your feet and pulling on the other end, 2)
... then progress to two layers around your feet with an end of the loop in each hand, 3) finally attempting to put both ends/loops in one hand and doubling up the difficulty, which is quite a challenge for most anyone. Many youtube videos demo the techniques. Best of all you can easily take it anywhere, and when you combine seated rows with push-up variations and pike or shoulder press push-ups, you can get a complete upper body workout with this one light, inexpensive piece of equipment. Not sure if it would last for multiple years, but at $20 still a strong value.

Okay product the medium band broke

This product is ok if your a beginner. You will get the maximum workout from the green band but make sure you check your bands. The medium band ( purple) broke on first use . Check your bands before use .

Exactly what we wanted, and at a great price. Easy to use, and came with a bag to store them. Even has a little book for suggestions on excercises.

I am a 68 year old male retired US Marine and travel extensively for work. Will be spending a month in a hotel where there is no fitness center. My need is for something that travels easily and is light. Got the 50lb stretch band, attachable handles and attachment ball that fits behind a door hinge. While I prefer free weights and exercise machines, this product is ideal for those times when access to a fitness center is problematic. At my age, I cannot afford lengthy interruptions in my
... physical fitness regime. Well done Academy Sports for pointing me to an exercise product that travels.

If you are just starting a routine with bands, these are a great. However, we quickly graduated to higher lbs.

Great Accessory!

I've had this band for several months now and have not experienced any issues. It's much better than the older models where you had to stretch the band to get it to fit into the grooves of the handle. The clips make it much easier when switching to a different exercise or band. I would recommend replacing any band, from any manufacturer, every 2 years or sooner depending on how much they are used.

Great Product

I bought this awhile back and I have had no problems with it. It's very convenient since you can attach it to any door. The resistance on these bands is very strong, and you may not be able to do all the workouts they provide, but with some work you should be able to do them.

They are strong at first but you will have to break them in by doing some pull downs. If you are women or weak man do not buy this product it has a ton of resistance.

Can Bench Press!!

I bought this Fuel brand exercise band to compare with the BCG and fortunately this one is better! It CAN be used on a bench press and the tension is actually perfect for use with heavy weight...I was going to give 4 stars because I swore it would be quite light but the 7ft tension is quite close to 50lb indeed. Gives me just the nudge I want to increase 1-rep Max from about 30+lbs under!

Works well

Good service, good price, received it within a reasonable amount of time, and the 70# tube appears to be well made. It is working well for what I needed it to do.

GoFit has hit the mark with this product. It is extremely well built particularly where the tube goes into the handle. It is very versatile and provides a fantastic alternative to free weights all the time.
